A man takes 20 seconds to climb 5m up a ladder. He weighs 720N. Calculate the power he must deliver to do this.

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago

Answer:

180 W

Explanation:

The work done by the man against gravity is equal to its gain in gravitational potential energy:

W=mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 720 N is the weight of the man

\Delta h= 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(720)(5)=3600 J

The power he must deliver is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 3600 J

t = 20 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{3600}{20}=180 W

Determine the magnitude of the component of F directed along the axis of AB. Set F = 520 N .
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The component of F along AB is equal to Fcos45

F = 520N

Component along AB = 520cos45

= 367.7N

This is done by rotating the diamonds such that AB is now taken as the x-axis. Then the force F is resolved along AB.

An ac generator with Em = 223 V and operating at 399 Hz causes oscillations in a series RLC circuit having R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH
Doss [256]

Answer:

Xc= 17.267 Ω,   Z= 415.5 Ω,   I= 0.537 A

Explanation:

Em = 223 V

f= 300 Hz, R = 222 Ω, L = 147 mH,  C = 23.1 μF

a)

Capacitive reactance = Xc=?

Xc= \frac{1}{2\pi fC}

Xc=1/2pi *399*23.1*10^-6

Xc= 17.267 Ω

b).

Z=\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2}

Xl= 2π * f * L  

Xl= 2π * 399 * 147 * 10^{-3}

Xl= 368.5 Ω

Z=\sqrt{ R^2 + (Xl - Xc)^2} = \sqrt{222^2 + (368.5 - 17.267)^2}

Z= 415.5 Ω  

c).

Current:

I= V / Z= Em / Z

I= 223/415.5

I= 0.537 A

The Force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 12N. The weight of the object is 20N. What i
shtirl [24]

Answer: The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Explanation:

For an object of mass M, the weight is:

W = M*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s^2

And the friction force between this object and the surface can be written as:

F = W*μ

where μ is the coefficient of friction (kinetic if the object is moving, and static if the object is not moving, usually the static coefficient is larger)

In this case, the weight is:

W = 20N

And the friction force is:

F = 12N

Replacing these values in the equation for the friction force we get:

12N = 20N*μ

(12N/20N) = μ = 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6
